“Mike Margolies is a chemical engineer turned world traveler, host of Walking the Earth (www.wtepodcast.com), and psychedelic discussion group organizer of Psychedelic Seminars (www.psychsems.com). We recorded this in the garden under an umbrella in the rain, and discussed Mike’s trans-formative experiences in Peru, India, and Thailand. We talk about the negative cultural stigma attached to psychedelic drugs in America, and how simply taking acid won’t cure your depression. A very interesting man!”

“I ran into psychedelic activist/explorer Mike Margolies in a coffee shop and we decided to throw up a quick conversation. We recorded this on an iPhone and talked about plant medicine, his seminar/discussion project (psychsems.com), his online magazine Psymposia, and a lot of deep deepness. Mike is also featured in Ep. 43. Enjoy.”

Your host Mike is the guest on this week’s episode of Daily Travel Podcast! Mike shares about his life-changing experience with ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon, quitting his corporate job as an engineer, and lessons from backpacking India and Southeast Asia.
